Change beamer.layout to start with (untested)

# \DeclareLaTeXClass[beamer.cls,pgf.sty,xcolor.sty]{Beamer Presentation Class}

Because MikTeX will not download them by default, right? This
'feature' is annoying... especially when people who do not have
persistent network connection firgure that it would be a good idea to
use it instead of installing a full-blown miktex and be done with it.

Similarly, the beamer layout file should start with
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#
\DeclareLaTeXClass[powerdot.cls,enumitem.sty,genmisc.sty,listing.sty,xkeyval.sty]{Powerdot
Presentation Class}
Also, it would be nice to make the list of presentations-related
classes coherent, like
presentation (foilTeX)
presentation (slides)
presentation (beamer)
presentation (powerdot)
presentation (seminar)
Finally, the modifications made to powerdot and beamer layout fields
should be sent back to their author.
